Purpose. The article presents the case of diagnostics in a female patient, without specific complaints, with a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas head. Early recognition of the tumor during the ultrasound examination with the use of new technology of ultrasound shear-wave elastography made it possible to carry out further examination and timely treatment. The early detection of neuroendocrine tumors still remains a complicated problem because of the large range of specialists to whom patients with tumors initially come. In a number of cases patients do not complain of anything or they have non-specific complains and most often they self thus losing the opportunity of timely early diagnostics and treat-ment. The ultrasound examination is one of the cheapest, quickest and safest methods of diagnostics, which undoubtedly can be used as a screening method and with the use of the advanced technologies such as the ultrasound shear wave elastography can help to make the early diagnostics of tumors more precise. |
